Camping and Birthday Pictures

Our computer is up and running again. I guess there was a little "glinch" with windows, but it is all fixed now and we are running better then ever. Here are some pictures from our camping trip last weekend as well as my birthday.
Here I am eating a smores. I think I look horrible in this picture, but remember we are camping and I am not meant to look like I just came out of the beauty salon.
Here is our campsite. Notice how close the water is? It was just a short walk down to go swimming. We by far had the best campsite on the lake.
Another view. My favorite camping gear was this OFF lanturn we bought. Not only did it provide us with some light, but it kept the bugs away. Again, isn't it a beautiful view.
Here is my fire. I was so damn proud of this fire. Remember, it took us all day to get it going due to it being windy.
Here's the birthday girl. Once a year I can drag Laura to one of my favorite Mexican restuarants "On the Border". If you look closely you will see a tear drop in my eye. I know that it will be another year before she lets us go back.
Here I am blowing out my b-day candles. Not only did my cake look it, it was indeed good.
Here's my b-day cake up close. Notice the theme? Casino. I thought it was very cleaver since the casino has become my new hobby.

oh . . . my . . . gawd. You said, "If you look closely you will see a tear drop in my eye. I know that it will be another year before she lets us go back." Give me a break, you drama queen!! I about fell off my chair laughing with that one! Yes, I remember tha Laura doesn't like OTB, but puh-leez, girlfriend.

I love those pictures of you. The smile you have most of the time these days is so great to see. I remember the times when your smile was superficial, masking many levels of pain, so to see you happy most of the time is just wonderful. Thank Laura for me.
